Just got it firing!
So my Blue Beast has always started fine and I put a new battery in when I got her a few months ago. She charges right at 14.2 volts. The past couple days the bike has been very slow to start, with the battery barely able to turn over the crank. Last night I got home after riding home from work and checked the direct battery voltage and it was 13.2 soon a bit after shutting off the bike. This morning, I checked it again, and it was down to 12.73. That's not bad. But then the bike was again really, really sluggish to start. By sluggish I don't mean many cranks and won't fire. I mean, the battery is barely turning over the crank like it is a weak battery and can barely get the cylinders to cycle. At this slow pace, it still catches and fires up after just a few strokes but that's not normal.
I would think 12.73 is close enough to normal to not matter. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
